    It’s not just Trump, and it’s not most of American society.

    This is the Jim Crow South reasserting its control over America.

      Sure, nobody in any other part of the country can possibly be bigots and y’all are completely innocent in all this. 👍

        There are bigots everywhere.

        They aren’t LITERALLY THE DOMINANT FOUNDATION OF THE CULTURE ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

        It’s all the south has and is, it’s like their blood and bones, there’s nothing else.

          Have you been to the south?

          If not, you’re just being a bigot yourself trying to scapegoat us to make yourself feel superior.

              I too spent some of my childhood in the American South, and also several years in my 40s. My distaste for the South is well informed, and it’s my only prejudice that doesn’t embarrass me.

              There are good people and bad people everywhere, and smart people and stupid people everywhere, but there’s a noticeably higher percentage of bad, stupid people in the South.
